How to Customize Redbubble
This how to will explain how to create that Custom Redbubble Profile you've always wanted.
These methods will work on your Profile Page,Description Box,Forums and Bubblesite (Home Page content & About Page content boxes) any redbubble text box

Working with text Use the below symbols with no spaces
Place the symbols before and after the text
Example: +envelope150+ will be envelope150
  • symbol # =creates a larger font header only (First line of text)
  • For a new Paragraph press enter twice
  • symbol * = bolds
  • symbol _ = italic
  • symbol ^ = small upper
  • symbol – = creates grey text
  • symbol ~ = makes text smaller
  • symbol + = Underlines the text
  • symbols * * * = Will make a simple line across your page (Journal entries only)
  • symbol # = · bullet text
You can make your text clickable or link to a web address

Put quotation symbols ” ” on each side of the word/sentence you want to make Clickable and then a Colon : (no spaces), Now put the url (web address) where you want the clicker to go

It will look similar to below

"View My Gallery":http//example.redbubble.com

You can also make a Text box appear when hovering over the link by adding text in brackets

Like this "View My Gallery(Go to My Gallery)":http//example.redbubble.com

The text above in ( ) will appear in a box if someone hovers over the link

Here is how you can create a contact link or e-mail me link

Example: "contact me":mailto:me@myemail.com
